Silver Academy First Media to Call End of War in Ukraine. Narrative Picking up Steam. Plus Other Silver News.
Even Though Our Beloved Leaders have been stealing money overseas through war profiteering and inside trading (energy, war, and bioweapons stocks), we are praying and believing that the horrific War in Ukraine (started by the USA) is winding down.
The situation in Ukraine is reaching a critical point. With the country on the brink of collapse and NATO unable to escalate further without risking a nuclear war, it's becoming increasingly clear that Ukraine may soon be open to negotiations. The need for swift and decisive action to end this devastating proxy war has never been more urgent.
First, we had established how the US started the war in dozens of posts over the past two years.
It’s important to note that when we first started publishing this narrative, some readers questioned our motives, suggesting we were Russian sympathizers. To them, I responded, “No, we are scholars who persist in our quest for truth, beyond the noise of mainstream media.”
Look at all the war theft by USA and NATO (and thousands slaughtered)
Proof that the US started the war below (there are hundreds of other data points also, research Professor Mearsheimer, I believe any researcher will come to this conclusion by now)
Washington D.C., December 12, 2017 – U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991

Today is the last day of month, quarter and half year. $28.50 Silver and $2,300 maybe key levels of support for closing out these time windows but our fervent belief is that BRICS arbitrage trumps Western Technical Analysis.

Wendy’s enrolls in community solar to power 130 locations
Through a partnership with Ampion, Wendy’s restaurants will access renewable energy certificates to offset carbon emissions.
Community solar provider Ampion Renewable Energy is partnering with The Wendy’s Company to help the restaurant chain source renewable energy. By signing onto community solar projects, companies like Wendy’s support the generation of renewable electricity for local grids.
Nearly 100 company-operated Wendy’s restaurants and nearly 40 franchise restaurants in New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts are now enrolled in Ampion+, a product that enables organizations t secure renewable energy certificates (RECs). RECs are a green power procurement strategy that electricity consumers, such as Wendy’s, use to substantiate renewable electricity use claims.
The result of the agreement, according to Ampion, is that the enrolled restaurants will source between 30% and 100% of their energy from solar without the need to install solar panels onsite. Wendy’s plans to increase the number of restaurants enrolled in Ampion’s community solar program as additional solar generation capacity comes online and more franchise restaurants enroll in the program.
“We are excited about the opportunity this partnership provides our Company and franchise restaurant operators by making it easier and more accessible to source clean energy while ultimately realizing cost savings,” said Steven Derwoed, vice president, global design & construction at Wendy’s. “We are advancing progress toward our emissions reduction goals through community solar participation and RECs. It’s a win-win for the Company and our franchisees.”
Last year, Wendy’s set near-term science-based targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 47%, and Scope 3 emissions from franchisees by 47% per restaurant by 2030, from a 2019 baseline.
Through Ampion, Wendy’s locations have enrolled approximately 27.5 million kWh in community solar or the equivalent electricity needed for 2,200 homes for one year. Each kilowatt hour will be accounted for, tracked, and assigned ownership to a specific restaurant location via RECs through the Ampion+ product.
“As the need for reducing carbon emissions grows, community solar combined with RECs provides a solution for environmental sustainability in the corporate sector that is both achievable and affordable, while enabling companies to quantify and disclose their progress in a standardized manner,” said Nate Owen, CEO and founder of Ampion. “We’re seeing more large companies actively seeking sustainable solutions through community solar. This partnership with Wendy’s demonstrates that Ampion is able to support these organizations in reducing emissions and putting more renewable energy on the grid for local communities.”
Community solar is expanding rapidly in the U.S. with 22 states, including Washington D.C. that have policies supporting third-party shared or community solar. According to the Coalition for Community Solar Access, 6.6 GW of community solar generation capacity has been installed to date, and Wood Mackenzie’s most recent U.S. community solar market outlook predicts that there will be 14 GW power installed across the country by the end of 2028.
Earlier this year, Ampion surpassed 1 GW of community solar generation under management. Currently active in nine states and counting, Ampion acquires and manages subscribers of all types, from housing authorities, municipalities, and enterprises such as Wendy’s, to small businesses and residential subscribers. Ampion reports that it acquired thousands of low-to-moderate income subscribers in 2023, expanding access to those who need savings the most.
